Water Supply RequirementsGather the required tools and parts before starting installation.Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listedhere.TOOLS NEEDED: Flat-blade screwdriver 1/4" Nut driver 7/16"and 1 2" Open-end ortwo adjustable wrenches 1/4" Drill bit Cordless drill¹ ₂" (1.25 cm)IMPORTANT: Connect to a potable water supply only.Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe orof unknown quality without adequate disinfection beforeor after the system. Systems certified for cyst reductionmay be used on disinfected waters that may containfilterable cysts.2¹ ₂" (6.3 cm)Electrical RequirementsWARNING All installations must meet local plumbing coderequirements. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valvewhich reduces water flow and clogs more easily. Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install coppertubing only in areas where the household temperatures willremain above freezing. For models with water filters, the disposable water filtershould be replaced at least every 6 months.Water PressureElectrical Shock HazardPlug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.Do not remove ground prong.Do not use an adapter.Do not use an extension cord.Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,fire, or electrical shock.Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, itis important to make sure you have the proper electricalconnection.Recommended Grounding MethodA 115 volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 A fused, groundedelectrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separatecircuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outletthat cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extensioncord.If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by themanufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person.Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage alongits length, or at either the plug or connector end.NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, orremoving a light bulb, turn the refrigerator to OFF. Dependingon your model, turn the freezer control to the word OFF, orpress the Freezer down arrow touch pad until a dash (–)appears in both the Freezer and Refrigerator displays as shown.Disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When youare finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical sourceand reset the temperature controls to the desired setting. See“Using the Controls.”4A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and 120psi (241 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenserand ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure,call a licensed, qualified plumber.Reverse Osmosis Water SupplyIMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out ofa reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of therefrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and827 kPa).If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to yourcold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosissystem needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa): Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverseosmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary. Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system torefill after heavy usage.If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reducethe water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverseosmosis system. Remove the water filter. See “WaterFiltration System.”If you have questions about your water pressure, call alicensed, qualified plumber.
